Rifqa Bary: Update

I am still prone to believing what Rifqa is saying but if this report is not challenged then her case is over and done with. The investogators and the mainstream media always preferred and listened to the parents and CAIR. How is that fair and balanced? Its the girl's life on the line for crying out loud!!

Anyway, let me know what you guys think so far and there's more reports you can read if you follow the link below:

The Ohio teen who ran away from her Muslim home after converting to Christianity apparently lied to state investigators.

However, one of the groups that have infused itself into her cause is accusing state agents of not thoroughly doing their jobs.

Tom Trento with the Florida Security Council calls a seven page report of investigative findings from Florida Department of Law Enforcement “complete nonsense” even though agents interviewed Rifqa Bary and then sought out to confirm or deny the allegations she made.In the report, investigators discuss Rifqa’s claims that she was assaulted by her father, threatened with death and was the victim of long-term child abuse.

Investigators found absolutely no credible reports of threats and no “derogatory” information based on the allegations after interviewing her siblings, people at her school and others involved in her life.

But those fighting for Rifqa to stay in Florida said the report is “incomplete,” deficient and they accuse FDLE agents of not grasping the seriousness of her situation.

“The investigators here are going to be very embarrassed when this comes to trial because expert witnesses will be brought in to completely overwhelm these investigators and their methods employed by these FDLE folks,” Trento said.

Rifqa was interviewed by investigators on Aug. 21. She told them she hitchhiked from a neighbor’s house to the Greyhound bus station in Columbus for her trip to Orlando.It turns out a man who baptized her in Ohio is the one who drove her to the bus station.Then, investigators learned her bus ticket was actually bought in Orlando under a fictitious name.

So what’s next in this case?

Lawyers for Rifqa’s parents have filed a motion to dismiss the dependency hearing. It could be heard as early as next week.

If it’s dismissed, this could clear the way for Rifqa to return to Ohio with her family.

Big deal, she was trying to protect the friend who helped her.

I remember when I first learned that Hirsi Ali had lied to get out of that coerced marriage and stay in Europe. For a moment I was horrified. Then I remembered what her alternative was. Would anyone blame a slave for lying about who helped her escape?

This used to be America.

I America, a 17 year old woman is not the inanimate property of her illegal alien relatives.

Post-America is very different from the Republic in which I was born.

I was talking to a personal friend about this case last week on the phone, and I referenced this scene from the Godfather:

Note the guy he keeps looking back at. That man is his brother from Sicily. Note that he is wearing a tie that is essentially two red balls hanging around his neck.

That's a threat.

I suspected that something like this would happen with Rifqa.

CAIR was present at the time of her questioning. Her lawyers were not allowed to be present.

What do you think went on?

I don't think she lied.

What I am pointing out, or trying to, is that this is a biased report. This is a biased investigation and it is POLITICALLY CORRECT at the end of the day.

Pastorius, I love that movie and I agree with you. There are a lot of similarities between that scene in The Godfather and this case of the parents' questioning.

Why is CAIR involved? Why is no one asking that question? Why isn't the judge asking that question? This has been fishy from the get-go. This report that just came out a couple of days ago, that basically accuses Rifqa of lying and portrays the parents as angels ("there is no evidence of the father ever hitting Rifqa!" And who told them that? THE FRIGGIN FATHER!! what are these investigators, STUPID?!), this report had a gag order on it for 10 days I believe, however the father's lawyer already knew about this report and released some information about it to the media when he wasn't supposed to (he said something like, "we have a report that is very favorable to the parents case, it will disprove everything the girl's saying").

Now, final point that I wanted to raise was that judging by this report and I am sure about the way the media is going to cover it, Rifqa's case and hope is over and done with. Unless her lawyers can counter this report by something very solid.

People need to realize NOW that it is NOT primarily about this girl's freedom, its about her LIFE!
